[AT] Tractor update (the rest of the story)

[Cecil R Bearden]

I had a JX 85 CIH w/loader that I traded for the TS110 NH that sucked a 
valve, destroyed an injector pump, 2 lift pumps failed, Air ride seat 
failed, Fuel tank leaks when over 1/2 full.  All with less than 2000 
hours *SHOWING*!!

I have my 7030 Allis hooked up to the baler to bale if it ever gets dry 
enough to cut.   The ground is so wet you make ruts and throw up water 
when driving accross the hills in the pasture........  23 inches as of 
this morning for May.....
